Chapter 174 Are they worthy?
If Meng Ling had sought help from the Supreme Sect before only because he had the idea that the Supreme Sect had an extremely good credibility, now that he had seen the barren mountain formation that Lin Du had originally arranged, he was completely glad that he had chosen Lin Du.
"When I dismantled your formation in the forest before, I thought your formation level was on par with mine." Meng Ling paused and looked at Lin Du's back as he walked through the formation.
"Now I am convinced. Your formation level is higher than mine."
Even if he spent three or four days, he still couldn't break through the formation completely. It wasn't because those who entered the formation were weak, but because all the attacks of these strong men would be transformed into the defensive power of this formation.
Unless you are a formation master who is more powerful than Lin Du, you cannot break it.
Lin Du looked at him in surprise and said, "You don't have to be so humble. Sister Jin Rui told me that you were the one who designed this formation."
She didn't see through the formation inside at the first sight, and only after she had dismantled it did she determine the formation of the parties inside.
Meng Ling showed a shy smile on his face, "I'm so ashamed, sorry to make you laugh."
Lin Du nodded, "That's easy. I don't know if you have discovered that your formation has a shortcoming, which is that in a complex superposition state, energy detection is inaccurate. But it's actually very easy to fix. The energy fluctuations of different formations are different. Even if they are superimposed, there will be fluctuations. Just split the silver thread on the black gold stone inside into two, and then connect one to each..."
As Meng Ling listened, he disassembled the array and began to study it with Lin Du. After a long time, he suddenly realized, "That's it."
Lin Du raised his head and continued to measure the formation here.
After they had thoroughly measured and drawn the map and returned to the Lianheng faction's site, Meng Ling reacted belatedly.
"No, how did Lin Du know the structure inside me?"
Jin Rui was amused. "You didn't just find out now, did you? She told me about it a long time ago. She opened it and found a good way to improve it because she thought it was a problem. I told her that you made the array and asked her to tell you again."
Meng Ling's face fell into a sullen state, and he felt that the things he was proud of became insignificant in front of Lin Du.
"She also said that the person who designed this formation must be a very pragmatic formation mage, which is why it fits so well with all the information the formation mage wants to detect. He must be someone who can accomplish great things."
Jin Rui nudged his senior brother with his elbow and said, "How about I let her repeat it in front of you?"
Meng Ling pressed down the corner of his mouth unnaturally and replied dryly, "No need."
Lin Du and the other three had already laid out the formation.
Twenty-five arrays were laid out one by one according to their directions, occupying a large area on the flat ground.
When they put them together and looked at them, the formation master could see that there was a big problem.
Lin Du suddenly took out another pen and marked the location of the Thousand Demonic Insects.
"Twenty-six." Someone whispered softly.
"There is still one missing." Meng Ling also understood the meaning of Lin Du's words, "There is only one missing, which is the centerpiece of the final formation."
Jin Rui couldn't help but take a deep breath, and felt his scalp tingling. "Ashura Juetian, Thousand Stars Snatching Souls, Thousand Demons Refining Gods, so it is... the Twenty-Seven Evil Formations?"
Lin Du looked at it for a while, "Ruler!"
Another formation master quickly handed the ruler to Lin Du.
Lin Du leaned over, took a ruler and compared, and quickly drew out the most critical center of the formation, which was also the most important thing they had not found.
"It's here!" Lin Du's eyes were firm and fierce, and he dropped the brush heavily on one point.
The entire wolf hair brush was stained with ink that was about to dry up and was pressed firmly on the rice paper. The stroke of thick ink that had already determined the outcome of the battle also completely pressed on the hearts of everyone present.
"They want..."
"Refine us." Meng Ling was shocked by his own conclusion, and there was a dry feeling in his throat.
Apart from Shui Jing, the actions of Lin Du and the other two in recent days have aroused everyone's suspicion.
At first, some people joked, "Could it be that the array mages want to compete to see who can break more arrays?"
But as more and more arrays were drawn, those who noticed something could no longer laugh at all.
When Feng Chao came, Lin Du just put the last stroke on the formation diagram.
She looked up and accurately found Lin Du's figure among many images, and then her eyes were filled with anger.
"Have those old guys had enough of this year's work?"
The leader of the Lianheng faction walked to the podium as soon as his disciples approached Lin Du.
"I know my disciples well. They are very cautious and will not act rashly, so there is no way they could have made a mistake. With such a big loophole, we strongly request that the competition be suspended!"
Yu Heng clenched his fists. The moment the formation diagram was laid out, the anger in his heart had completely exploded. "They are the future of Zhongzhou. Thirty-nine of them are on the current Qingyun Ranking. Don't tell me that Zhongzhou lost so many geniuses overnight. Do you want to see all the people on the Qingyun Ranking occupied by foreign races?"
As early as when Lin Du began to explore everywhere, some powerful people had already wanted to interrupt the competition, but the formation had not yet been activated, and perhaps the formation would never be activated. If it was forcibly stopped, the entire Dongming Realm would know tomorrow that Zhongzhou could actually allow the evil demons to bully people in such a grand event.
What's next?
Is it an invasion?
In the stands, the noisy discussions drowned out the whispers of the people in the barrier.
"Your Majesty... didn't you say that you were just going to do something in the secret realm to embarrass those high-sounding spiritual practitioners in Zhongzhou? Why do those sect leaders seem to be talking together, as if something bad is going to happen?"
"This isn't a bad thing, isn't this a great thing?" Qianyu laughed, "It's a great thing, this money is worth it, it's worth it! Where is the Eighth Elder? Tell him, and you'll be rewarded when you return!"
The man lowered his eyes to hide the barely perceptible anger and suspicion in his eyes, and when he raised his eyes again, he had returned to his usual frivolous and playful attitude.
"But, that Thousand Demon Bug shouldn't have been exposed so early."
"It's just an accident. Wouldn't it be nice to scare them? It's better to scare them sooner or later."
"So are we going to go out on stage now? What's that line in the storybook? Make a grand entrance?"
Wei Zhi looked at the group of people in the distance thoughtfully. The noises in his ears were a bit harsh, and he frowned slightly.
This gang of evil spirits...
It seems that his aunt who has not been out for a long time will be worried this time.
Otherwise, would you like to help?
"The competition is suspended now, immediately, and immediately." Feng Chao made the final decision. He scanned the group of people in front of him with a cold look. "I have already notified Immortal Master Yan Ye. He will be here soon. Don't let me say it a second time."
The leaders of the other sects nodded one after another, "There is no need to discuss this matter any further. Just announce to the outside world that the last stage will take five days."
This was the best possible ending. At this moment, the scene in the water mirror suddenly stopped, and all the sounds around seemed to be cut off.
Then a tall man in purple with a green face, fangs and a bronze mask appeared on the scene, exuding an arrogant aura that looked down on others.
The man was followed by a group of people wearing different clothes. They were not wearing masks and had a strong demonic aura.
Just by this appearance, everyone present recognized the man's identity.
The master of Fanqian City, now the supreme demon cultivator, although not on the Chongxiao List, his strength is said to be comparable to the top three demon lords on the Chongxiao List, Qianyu.
"Everyone, what are you waiting for? The show has just begun."
The man looked at the angry faces in front of him, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise under the mask.
This damn hatred is so good.
"Don't look at me like that. You can't open this secret realm. Besides, the tens of thousands of people present today don't want you to open it."
Qianyu put her hands behind her back and looked at the group of people in front of her with a smile, "Don't you believe it? Let's make a bet?"
"What are you betting on? Are you betting that I can hammer your head into the ground this time? And then you can pretend to be dead and hide underground for three hundred years before showing up?"
A cold voice sounded in the air, and then the space slightly fluctuated, and a monk in black clothes and white hair appeared in front of everyone.
"You're worse than a dog." Yan Ye bit his words and mocked Qianyu mercilessly.
Qianyu looked at Yan Ye who appeared but was not panicked. He laughed and said, "You blind man, you are finally here? It just so happens that your precious little disciple is also in the secret realm and is thinking about breaking my formation. How about we make a bet?"
Yan Ye's grey eyes flashed with a dark light, and then fell in front of Qian Yu, "You are worthy of betting with me?"
The water mirror suddenly moved again, and all the sounds inside were released.
Qianyu said with a smile, "Listen, what is your little disciple saying?"
Amidst the heavy voices, Lin Du's voice still clearly reached Yan Ye's ears.
"Want to refine our Zhongzhou disciples? Are those evil demons worthy of it?"
